What The Critic says...

Everything that audiences have come to expect from this musical comedy, can be found in this very fine production. The show offers a full, accomplished orchestra, a large cast of talented actor/singers, a beautiful, well designed set and lovely period costumes.- Colin Douglas, Chicago Theater & Concert Reviews & Concert Reviews
